The Department of Education shows $37,132,597,854.56 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Texas, across 6,759 awards. Awarding-agency 091 and Texas (TX) are the pair. A large-state education cell is not a verdict on Texas schools, not a per-pupil figure, and not cash already in district accounts. USAspending.gov supplies the two integers.
Key figures
- Education in Texas: $37,132,597,854.56 across 6,759 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $5.49 million per record, not per-pupil aid.
- Agency 091 × TX is not a test-score report.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Education’s Texas-coded book
Keep the filters separate from the statewide hub. Awarding agency is Department of Education, CGAC 091. Geography is Texas. The overlap is $37,132,597,854.56 and 6,759 awards. An Education award in Oklahoma is excluded. A VA award in Texas is excluded.
The implied mean is about $5.49 million per award. State-administered formula grants can produce a modest row count with a large dollar column. This packet does not name the grant programs inside the 6,759 records.
Department of Education in Texas is the overlay. Texas federal spending includes USDA’s thick file and every other agency. All spending ties holds the join index. Six thousand seven hundred fifty-nine Education records in Texas against $37,132,597,854.56 produce a higher mean than California’s Education cell in this slice. That comparison is two separate joins, not a scoreboard of school quality. Department of Education in Texas does not rank Texas against California.
STAAR, enrollment, and other missing fields
Test results, teacher counts, and charter-versus-ISD splits are not USAspending columns. $37,132,597,854.56 does not grade Texas public education. It sums award obligations.
6,759 awards are not 6,759 school districts. Unique ISDs are unpublished. Do not treat the count as a district roster. Texas did not cause the total by having many students. Enrollment is not a packet fact. The join is 091 × TX. Correlation is not causation. STAAR and voucher debates are not USAspending fields. $37,132,597,854.56 does not grade Texas schools. Texas federal spending still includes USDA’s thick file and VA, DHS, NASA, and Treasury cells that are not 091.

Questions
- How much has the Department of Education obligated in Texas?
- USAspending.gov lists $37,132,597,854.56 across 6,759 awards with awarding agency 091 and a Texas tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not the state’s education budget. USAspending.gov is the originating system. Department of Education in Texas is the live overlay for this pair. $37,132,597,854.56 remains an obligation sum, not an outlay, across 6,759 awards.
- Is this federal aid per Texas student?
- No. The packet has no enrollment figure. $37,132,597,854.56 and 6,759 awards are the published facts. Per-pupil math would require a denominator that is not here.

- Does this include Pell Grants paid to Texas students?
- The packet does not break out programs. $37,132,597,854.56 is the combined Department of Education obligation sum inside Texas coding. Program shares would need another extract. SpendingVault indexes the pair; it does not convert $37,132,597,854.56 into cash already paid. Later ingests can revise 6,759 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
- Where is the live table?
